Project Farm Vise Test

[ItsNemo]

You've overestimated. It's more like $0.80 - $1.20 per 1000 views. Google takes 45% of that revenue from you, leaving you with 55%. Realistically, you're making $0.45 to $0.65 per 1000 views.

In the low paying niches (like gaming that I mentioned) those rates are true, but generally the accepted average is in the range I quoted.

That's what they tell content creators to have them start on Youtube, only to find out it's complete and utter ********.

One thing you see in every vise review is measuring clamping force. As long as it's pinchy enough to hold your work, this isn't all that relevant. But I guess people love them numbers.

The Fireball Tool guy (Jason, I think?) made several videos explaining the engineering and design tradeoffs behind many of the features of his Hardtail Vise. This one explains exactly why the handle is shorter than the internet basement dwellers expected, and even why it's designed to break or bend before you can damage the rest of the vise:

For example, one thing you noticed in the PF review was that different vises had different thread pitches on the lead screws; this is a deliberate design choice as you trade clamping force for speed and convenience. So the test where he applied a certain amount of torque and measured clamping force was not telling you which one was "better"; it was telling you what design decisions were made. And the handles that bent were not evidence of lower-quality; they were a design choice to prevent overloading.

As always with so many tool reviews, over-torquing to failure was completely pointless. Made for good video, I suppose, for people who like seeing tools destroyed, but the only real function of destructive testing is to gather up more eyeballs so you can pay for more stuff to destroy.

On the plus side, showing the amount of slop in the vises was good info; that makes a difference in daily use. And I do like how he doesn't just dismiss the value options -- the HF vise is kinda crude, but it's inexpensive and perfectly useful and usable for someone on a budget. He's done the same for a lot of budget tools out there when the value is there for a usable tool, even if it's not the super-expensive option.

As someone mentioned earlier, I would have liked to see where the new Doyle vise from HF stacks up. Maybe it wasn't easily available when he made this video.

Well, I guess all the people who are monetized are lying.

When I make it to 1000 subs (less than 250 to go!) and can get monetized on my channel, I'll let you know how it actually goes.

I know someone three people who are very successful. One has 750mil views in three years. Another runs a channel with about 2-3 million views per video (about 5-6 years). Third runs a photography channel.

You're making assumptions from Google.

Who do you think is accurate?

Three anecdotes from some random on a garage forum versus every resource, blog post, sub reddit, youtuber, and google themselves...hmm, you tell me.

But honestly, it doesn't matter...neither of us are making money from YouTube, Project Farm definitely is to a substantial amount.

You have over 50 videos on your Youtube channel and about 700 subs.

You don't have to worry about how much money other people are earning on Youtube.

Making money on Youtube is for low socio-economic peasants.

Thank you for sharing my stats with me? I'm not sure what your point is? I don't worry about making money on YouTube, I have a great day job, I did it to learn new skills (filming, video editing, artistic stuff, along with presentation skills....hint: I still **** at it lol) and sometimes share things I'm fiddling with in the garage.

You setup a brand "Some Guy's Garage" across every social media platform that existed (and even this website). You have 3 follows on Facebook. You have 14 on Instagram.

For reference, I have about 438k~ followers on Instagram and all I do is take pictures of women next to, and getting out of, my car.

So my points are:
1) You're not going to make money on the internet.
2) If you had a "Great Day Job" you could afford better tools.

I'm not sure why you are personally attacking me? Afford better tools? wtf dude?

Here's some points for you to consider,

1. Name calling is frowned upon here at Garage Journal.
2. Personal attacks are not tolerated.
3. A condescending attitude with your fellow members here, you won't last long.
